The role of the HAM in the field can vary every time you go out. It could be for a simple outing, but it could also be to help coordinate communication for an event such as a parade or bike ride, or it could be to respond to a disaster that is ongoing or has recently happened. This list should get your thinking going, but each situation is different, so really put thought into the situations you may enter into if you are responding to a disaster, and plan accordingly. Above all, keep yourself safe, so you can be a help to those that have been impacted, and not a victim yourself! Also note, this list is geared to one day deployments, not multi day, so if you are deploying into a situation that may've you on your own for multiple days, consider looking at some of the other lists such as the Weekend backpacking trip and Wilderness first aid kit.

Please Note: This is only a recommended minimum
set of equipment based on the past experiences of many individuals. We do not guarantee
that it is all inclusive or appropriate for the activities you are planning. The
trip leader, and common sense should always dictate the equipment you actually pack.
